When a man answered his phone, he thought he was helping a family member, but this was not the case.

Sometime between 2 p.m. on Monday and 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Robert E. Julian (82) of Manhattan suffered a 18 hundred dollar loss.

This theft was due to an illegitimate phone scam, claiming he had a family member arrested in Mexico and they needed him to give credit card information to bail them out.

Riley County Police would like to take this opportunity to remind local residents that phone calls involving large amounts of money are often scams. Use caution and look into the situation before giving out information.
